Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1993
Bacteremia and fungemia are encountered commonly and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Laboratory detection is therefore of paramount importance. Principles of successful blood culturing, clinically important technical issues, manual and automated detection systems, and interpretation of culture results are reviewed in this ...

The clinical and laboratory issues important in pediatric blood cultures are similar to those in adult blood cultures with a few noteworthy exceptions. The collection of an uncontaminated specimen and an ample volume of blood is more difficult, especially in neonates.

It is generally accepted that fungemia is an important and often life-threatening event. Unfortunately, it often remains undetected due to the lack of physician and/or laboratory awareness of the usefulness of fungal blood cultures. Many laboratories do not offer the possibility of performing fungal blood cultures and, if offered, some use methods that

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2014
Blood cultures are an essential diagnostic tool. However, contamination may impact on patients' care and lead to increased patient stay, additional tests, and inappropriate antibiotic use. The aim of this study was to review the literature for factors that influence the rate of blood culture contamination.

Southern Medical Journal, 1982
Blood cultures in a 700-bed hospital were examined for clinical relevance. During a six-month period 5,154 blood samples were drawn from 1,091 patients. Of the 124 patients with positive blood cultures, 7% had polymicrobic isolates. A review of hospital records for a three-year period revealed 162 charts with adequate documentation for evaluation of ...

This chapter focuses on blood cultures, which are extremely important clinical samples that are requested by clinicians when the signs and symptoms suggest the possibility of bacteraemia or septicaemia. Because of the importance of obtaining rapid results with blood cultures, this is one area of microbiology where automation is commonplace. The chapter
